Dvd not showing up on computer

I know this question isnt even about my ipod but i had to ask anyways. iv been trying to rip dvds onto my computer to put on my ipod but when i put the dvds into my comuter they dont show up? is this becasue i am an idiot and need a dvd drive?

Is this because i am an idiot and need a DVD drive?
Have you got a DVD drive?
Have you been able to playback DVDs before? If not, then you may very well need a DVD drive... not just a CD drive.
You'll be able to tell what you have by looking in 'My Computer' when there are no discs in the drives. The drives should show up as things like: 'CD-ROM Drive(D:)' or 'CD/DVD Drive(D:)'. If none of the drives have DVD in the title, you may just need a DVD drive.
If you have any luck getting them to show up, take a look at this thread for help on ripping DVDs to iPod.

Satellite Pro L300 - CD/DVD does not show on my computer

Hello ! This is probably a silly / easy question but I am very new in this and..... my CD/DVD unit does not work.
It does not show on "my computer" and when I insert a disk, nothing happens (except for a buzzing noise but then nothing)....
Can someone kindly help me?
As the helpline does not answer on Saturdays...
Many thanks !

Hi
Try this;
Access the device manager and remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager list.
Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Reboot the notebook and check it again.

Two DVD drives showing in "My Computer" - Qosmio G20

Hi,
I have a G20 and for some reason Ive got two DVD drives showing in My Computer.
The first one is called `DVD-RAM Drive` and is known as the D: drive. If I put a DVD or CD in the drive, then it shows up on this icon.
But there is also a second one called `DVD Drive` and it is known as the E: Drive. It doesnt show up any discs that i put in the machine. If i double click on it, it just gives the usual error saying `please insert a disc in the drive`.
Can anyone explain the difference here and why I have this second drive?
Thanks!

Hi
On this way it is not easy to say what happen there. As far as I know some applications create a virtual drives and I dont know what for applications are preinstalled on your machine.
Other way you can go into drive properties (right mouse button) and click on Hardware tab. On this place you will be able to see the device type.

I cant use recovery cds because there CDS. Please Help!!!!!!!!!
It's probable that the CD 'side' of the combo drive has failed. That you cannot boot from the recovery CD is pretty much proof of the failure.

Ipod touch not showing up in 'computer'

My ipod 4g is not showing up in 'computer' on Windows 7. It shows up in iTunes, but not in computer. I tried updating itunes and ipod, still no luck. I need it for my pictures, and iCloud is too complicated to use easily.
Please help!!

We have 16 pupil iPads at our school supervised by a Mac Air and we can't see the photos on any of them on the Mac, a Windows 7 or an XP machine. The unsupervised machines used by the teachers are fine. Is this a common problem? If so, is there any way around it not involving PhotoStream?

My website shows an extra box image on PC's that is not showing on my computer in iWeb or online.

My website shows an extra box image on PC's that is not showing on my computer in iWeb or online. I know for sure that the box is not there in iWeb. You will see it on the homepage of www.gageformen.com of you're on a PC. Any clue how I can get rid of it? Thanks!

Post a screenshot of the page on the PC so we can see what you're referring to? What type of box image is it?
By the way, I noticed that the only text in your entire site that is not an image file is that on the page RESPONSIBLE STYLE. That's the only text in your site that a search engine can use in it's ranking and listing. That could be limiting as to what the search engines have to use from your site.

Audiobook does not show on other computer and IOS devices.

Audiobook purchased on iMac does not show on other computer and IOS devices. Music i buy in the store does show up. settings have been checked and books

This has nothing to do with iCloud. Try one of the iTunes forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes

DVDs not showing up in Finder (CDs OK)

I have lots of data archived on DVD. Now DVDs suddenly will not show up on the desktop, data or otherwise. Odd, because I just burned a DVD last night.
Didn't there used to be a CD/DVD control panel in System Prefs? Seems to be gone in OS X 10.34.9

Indeed, because I definitely needed that file.
I ran the combo updater, but no CD/DVD preference pane. I'm not gonna worry about that since things ran fine without it (up till now). Don't want the bother of an Archive and Install, which still might not fix it.
My current suspect for all this is my CD/DVD drive. For several months I've had intermittent problems trying to eject discs and I've done every software fix I can think of and then some. Spent more time working "on" my computer than working with it. So I've ordered the Pioneer version of the Superdrive and we'll see if that fixes it.
Thanks for the suggestions.

HI Gary,
At least you could retrieve important files off the
one DVD! That's something.
I'm mystified why CD/DVD doesn't show up in your
System Prefs. Try the 10.4.9 combo updater but also
make sure you check to make sure you have any
Firmware updates also. If you do the combo update,
download that from the Apple site, not the Software
Updater:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_upd
ates/macosx1049comboupdateppc.html
If necessary, can you back everything up and do
either an Archive and Install or Erase and Install?

DVD not showing up

At some point, my TiBook just gave up the ghost of CDs/DVDs, it played them fine then suddenly, it would accept them but not show them on the hard drive. Any thoughts on whether this is a software issue or a hardware issue?

DVDs not showing up correctly on desktop

I have a friend who is having this problem and I tried to help last night:
DVDs that are authored in DVD Studio Pro or iDVD will show up on the desktop as DVDs with the round DVD icon w/DVD logo on the icon. DVDs that are recorded on a set top Sony DVD recorder show up as a folder with a red minus sign on the bottom.
We both have the same kind of computers, same version system software, etc.
What we're trying to do with the DVD is open it up in MPEG Streamclip, so we can extract the M2V and AC3 files off and re-author with custom menus.
On my computer this morning, the recorded DVD showed up as a folder with a minus sign, but MPEG Streamclip was able to recognize that it was a disc in the first place, whereas the friend's computer - MPEG Streamclip did not recognize that there was a disc there.
The discs do actually mount on the computers and are playable in Apple's DVD Player in both cases. In MPEG Streamclip I have been going to "Open DVD" and on my computer the DVD shows up in that left pane with all the hard drives, networked drives, flash drives, etc., so I'm able to select it. But on the friend's computer, it does not show up in that left pane where it can be selected. So I can't get to the DVD's directory in the first place.
I tried everything I knew how, and researched a bit online as well, and I think I learned that the folder with the minus sign in general is related to permissions. I also saw online that this may be a Sony DVD recorder thing with their navigation structure.
However, we had a disc on the friend's computer that did work a few weeks ago in MPEG Streamclip, but doesn't now. So I think there must have been some setting that was changed. Roxio Toast may have been installed after this first DVD was readable, but I didn't see anything in Toast's preferences that would seem to affect this.
I'd like to try a disc that was recorded on my Panasonic DVD recorder on the friend's computer next time I get out that way.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Casey Petersen

Hmmm...that's interesting with the Sidebar preference...I'll have to check that on the other computer whenever I get out there next. I'll try disabling it on mine to see if it does the same thing.
Thanks!

"Sony_Volume_Recorder_Volume DVD" not showing files

Hi all,
I had some video tapes transferred onto dvd by a local company. When I got them
home I tried to open the dvd on my Mac to transfer files onto my hard drive but I got the message
above "SonyVolume_RecorderVolume DVD" with small no entry symbol on the folder. I have done a bit of research so I know Sony is not compatible with Mac (- I wish I knew before I had them transferred!) but I don't know how to get these video files to show so that I can save them?
I must stress, these are my home videos; I own the rights to them. I just want to be able to
save them and maybe edit them iMovie.
Is there some special software I can buy to open these sony dvds? I read about
the Terminal thingy; but when I am wary about going into the "guts" of the computer?
I did try some "sudo" thing in Terminal I found on the internet, but it didn't work.
Can anyone help? Am really frustrated at not being able to save these precious memories properly.
Many thanks

Hi,
the format is Universal Disk Format (UDF)
It says under Sharing and Permissions that I have no access
and the files will not show up in the folder which has a no entry sign on it.
These are my own home movies; I just had them copied from video to dvd in the hopes of
saving them forever.
Thanks,

I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which died,when I open my iTunes it does not show the new iPod, and refuses to allow me to sync my existing library, the new iPod does not show in my computer only on devices, any suggestions ?

Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?

Hey there longislandmacca,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:
